ANA, 28 YEARS

Dear Family,


My name is Ana Carolina. I live in Pato Branco - Paraná - Brazil. I love living here because it's a beautiful little town, a quiet place to live. I've been living here for 9 years and I have incredible memories of this place. Before that I lived in São Paulo.

I decided to become au pair because I like taking care of children, I love playing with children and it's something I've always done. I have the desire to know another country, another culture. I want to live this new experience. And as we will live for two years together I think this will help me improve my English a lot. Actually, I want to be part of the family, that's the most important thing. I would take care of your children as if they were my children.

I love making jokes, so I consider myself a very funny person, besides being very dedicated in what I do. In my spare time I like watching movies and visiting new places, going out to eat or playing some sport. I like to take care of myself like: painting my nails, taking care of my hair, doing makeup, going to the gym and I also love to cook.

I live with my mom Rozeli, who is 48 years old and my brother Pedro, who is 8 years old. My dad Sidney is Italian and he is 58 years old. My parents divorced, but my mom and dad have a good relationship. My parents have always been very strict with me and my brothers about education and good manners, and I thank them for it because I grew up and became a responsible person.

I consider myself a loving, helpful, friendly, open and dedicated person. Probably all the Au Pair girls say the same thing, but I want to show you that this is the truth about me, I can show you if you give me a chance to get to know each other better.

I study law school and am in third year, but I paused my application to be an Au Pair because it is my dream and I need to speak English very well. I decided to complete my study after returning to Brazil. I am currently studying English on Saturday mornings to improve my pronunciation.

I work at the Court of Justice and have several responsibilities such as assisting the judge, monitoring hearings, checking progress of proceedings and writing petitions, among other things. On my weekends I keep taking care of the kids because it's one of the things I enjoy doing the most. After work I always make dinner for my mom. I really enjoy cooking desserts and many other things.

I have more than 1000 hours of work with children, which makes me have a great experience with them, especially with newborns and twins. So, because of all my experiences, I'm sure that if you choose me, you will not regret it. I've always dreamed of an exchange, I want to see new things, new places, new people and understand how they live and what they think, and I can not imagine another better option than being an au pair. I am very excited about this exchange program and will do my best to make it incredible for me and my host family as well.

So thank you for reading my letter, and if you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them. I hope you like me and we can talk to get to know us better. I'm looking forward to your contact.

My best wishes.

Ana Carolina Zanini
